At first I thought this song was about trying to be in a relationship with someone, but still loving someone from the past. After listening a few times and reading over the lyrics, I think it's more about two people together, but one has changed. The narrator is saying that he would give his heart to the new person, but he already gave it to the old one, and he would say "I love you" to the new person, but he's already given those words away to the person they used to be.
In the end, it's about the narrator's struggle between urging the changed person to either stay with them or go (cast away).
